I don't naturally rhyme so worked at rhyming; rhyming is the most obvious way to create rhythm, creating rhymes assisted my rythmic development. Now I want to focus on irony, ( saying one thing meaning another) and symbols ( a figurative substation of a part for a whole).
I like to throw a shocking word in now and again or try to think of some strange metaphor. I only started writing back in January so I'm just trying out loads of stuff.
Rhyming is a great little gimmick I like to pull out of my hat of tricks when it is called for. And i think anyone who uses it well is bound to impress at least one reader out there. I think rhyming is a powerful one, not only because it requires a deep thought process, but there is an art behind stringing lines together and making them connect in more ways than one. As a writer, if you execute this well, the sense of accomplish you feel is huge. You also feel a bit of a connection to all the poets who came before you- literary legends and all- since rhyming poetry is often perceived to be the 'archetypal' or classic style of poetry. Beyond the self however, it also has a particular affect on the reader, in which they become impressed by the poem twice: once by the message it is conveying, and secondly, by the technique of rhyming itself.
I also like lacing my poems with metaphors, recurring motifs and images/themes, alliteration, double-speak or double-meanings (a big fav of mine), playing with homophones and with the iambic pentameter when I feel my poem requires a bit more structure and rhythm. I'd be curious to here the thoughts of others.
